Making some new greeting cards

It rained the other day which gave me an opportunity to play inside. I’ve had this piece of fabric from a dyeing class I took years ago. It was so much fun to dye!  I really love it but have trouble using it in a big project. However, I thought it would be great for…

Playing with Tulle

I’ve never really played with tulle until the last couple of months. I’ve found that it can cover up mistakes, dull down colors, pull the piece together, and last, but not least, add bling.

Can you believe the summer is almost over? I sure can’t. Here is a little of what I’ve been up to the last couple of weeks. I have been reading this organizing book since I have a strong urge to move stuff out of here! I really like her idea of organizing not by room,…

Alcohol Inks and Yupo

A couple years ago I was looking for an art workshop to attend and saw one on playing with this paper and the inks taught by Cathy Taylor. It wasn’t possible for me to go to that workshop, but I did stop by Blick’s and purchase a large piece of the Yupo.  I filed it…
